Introduction

The Fire Service is a "Paramilitary" organization. It patterns
itself after the military in many aspects, one of the most
important being "Chain of Command". It is this basic premise which
allows the functions of the fire service to be carried out through
a recognizable span of control as well as a common division of
labor.

Firefighters always recognize the command function as well as
the consequences for not following it.
